'Because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook.'

On November 17, 1973, four months before the IRS billed him $400,000 in back taxes and for improper deductions, Richard Nixon held a press conference in which he famously stated

“I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service — I earned every cent,” he said. “And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I could say that in my years of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got.”

And while it is unlikely that Melania Trump owns a “respectable Republican cloth coat,” the American people are still entitled to “know whether or not their president is a crook.”
